Mushroom Pizza With Caramelized Onions is a classic, incredibly delicious and flavorful pizza prepared using sauteed mushrooms, caramelized onions and cheese.
I first had this pizza in Kings Rosemont restaurant and I must say, it is one of the best pizza that I have tried so far. Whenever we order pizza, we hardly eat 2 slices and get the rest packed. This was for the first time we finished off the entire pizza even after having drinks and appetizer.
The caramelized onions combined with sauteed mushroom, cheese and topped with arugula makes it irresistible. This pizza is much much better than any takeout pizza. This is truly a treat for all mushroom and pizza lovers. You can also check out kale pesto pizza, mushroom in garlic cream sauce and other mushroom recipes on my blog.
Preparation time : 1 hour 30 minutes
Serves : 14 inch pizza
